When Craig opened up the show this morning, he complimented ‘The’ Eddie Scozzare for getting the show started right on time (Eddie is a pros-pro), then he went on to set up the show as he does every day. When it became time to say hello to his radio partner, his sullen radio partner I might add, Boomer immediately began to vent about his beloved Rangers, who from what I gather aren’t playing very well these days. But in the interest of ratings, Craig quickly got Boomer off the subject of hockey (nobody cares about hockey Boomer), by bringing up the dinner the two had last night with New Jersey Governor Elect Chris Christie, who happens to be a personal friend of Craigie Boy. After they covered their evening out on the town, it was on to the starting quarterback for the New York Jets, who by the way is not a USC graduate and is not named Mark Sanchez. Rex Ryan announced yesterday that Sanchez will not play on Sunday against the Buccaneers due to a slight tear in his PCL, which opens the door for back-up Kellen Clemens; with all due respect, let’s just say there is a reason Kellen is a back-up. As you can probably imagine, Boomer and Craig were on opposite sides of the fence on this one; Boomer looking at it as a former player and Craig lending the perspective of the fan, which generated quite a debate between the two dinner buddies…Plus, Tiki Barber takes a shot at the ‘San-Chize’ and Jerry updates the listening audience, Craig gives an assignment to our self-proclaimed production ‘Guru’ Zach Martin that can be described using just one word; CREEPY, Craig get upset after reading an email forwarded to him by Boomer, an in-studio sit down with the Executive Director of the NFLPA – DeMaurice Smith, former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mike Quick hops on to preview the Giants-Eagles game, a role playing fantasy of Craig's revealed and a knee slappin' Moment followed by a blog preview...
The guys spent a little quality time together last night, as they broke bread with NJ Governor Elect Chris Christie, which turned out to be a very good thing. Not just because Craig got to spend time with Boomer outside of work, but more importantly it prevented Boomer from watching his Rangers lose in overtime to the Chicago Blackhawks. Even without seeing the game, Boomer had plenty he wanted to get off his chest. After he was done ranting, the fellas discussed the aforementioned meal they shared and then it was onto the subject of who will be calling the signals on Sunday afternoon, when the Jets take on the Bucs in Tampa. Rex Ryan announced at yesterday’s press-conference that Kellen Clemens, not Mark Sanchez will start on Sunday. The guys discussed Ryan’s decision, Boomer praising him for making it when he did so Clemens gets as many reps as possible; Craig of course had an entirely different take…

Craig was more than a little suspicious when hearing Rex Ryan has elected to go with Kellen Clemens over Mark Sanchez when the Jets battle the Bucs. This after Ryan said earlier in the week that Sanchez was progressing nicely after injuring his knee last Thursday night in Toronto and Sanchez himself saying he expected to be ready to go. Craig praised the young QB for wanting to play despite the injury; which is now being called a slight tear in his PCL; and places the blame squarely on the Head Coach. Then we hear that former Giants running back Tiki Barber had a few things to say on the subject. Barber called Sanchez out, saying he played the majority of his career with no PCL at all in his right knee, then he pointed out that he was a running back, I assume he did this just in case we had forgotten. Craig calls him a jack ass and tells Al to book him for the show, not likely to happen. Jerry then filled us in on some more details in the Sanchez benching, as well as everything else going on in the world of sports, including a little Al Dukes’ re-mix action…

Today in the ‘World of Tiger’ we get a glimpse of Eldrick’s texting abilities, well we hear Eldrick’s texting abilities, and we get a glimpse of the acting talents of the lovely Tracy Burgess and one Zach Martin, as the two of them read the steamy texts aloud, as if they were having a conversation, a very creepy conversation. Craig originally wanted Joe Benigno or Danny Bonaduce (who was in the building today doing his own show for a station in Philly, WYSP) to play the role of the 'tail' chasing Tiger, but due to the time restraints neither was able to participate, which is when Zach got the call. Now Zach is very good at what he does, he is the lead production guy here at the FAN, but like I’ve done in the past, I’ll turn to ole Dirty Harry himself and simply say, ‘A man’s got to know his limitations’. With that said, I’ll put it like this, Zach’s acting skills leave very little to be desired, which Craig was quick to point out…

Boomer was teasing Craig about an email that he received regarding a possible appearance on TV. Now I’m sure you’re aware by now that Craig has a burning desire to host his own television show, so he was very intrigued. Boomer forwarded him the email, with the promise from Craig that he wouldn’t read it until he told him it was okay. So when the time came, Craig was very upset to learn the email was from none other than Jerry Seinfeld himself. Turns out he wants the Boom, not Craig, to be part of a show he is doing for NBC called ‘Marriage Ref’ where Boomer would act as a marriage expert. Needless to say, Craig was very disappointed that he was not included…

Then the guys welcomed the newly elected, Executive Director of the NFL Players Association (NFLPA), DeMaurice Smith into the studio for a lengthy chat about the pressing issues the NFL and its players face in the very near future. DeMaurice succeeded the late Gene Upshaw back in back in March of this year and he will immediately be tested, as the dreaded term ‘lock-out’ was thrown around numerous times during this 38 minute piece and that my friends is not good for anyone. They also talked about the concussion problem the league is currently dealing with and a host of other topics…

An old buddy of Craig’s from his days working in Philly and a colleague of Boomer’s during his playing days in the NFL, former Philadelphia Eagle Mike Quick joined the guys at the top of the 9 o’clock hour. Nowadays Quick can be heard on WYSP, serving as a color commentator for the Eagles games, so he joined the guys to offer a little Philly perspective of this Sunday night’s NFC East battle…

Looking back on the whole Tracy – Zach text bit, it was so bad that it was funny. Allow me to clarify, Zach was so bad, Tracy did a wonderful job. Anyway, Craig wanted to relive the creepy rendition once again and while doing so, Craig got to thinkin’ about a Halloween costume he purchased for his wife Kim, which she has yet to wear for him. It is a Bat Girl costume and Craig had a little role playing in mind, where he would play Robin to Mrs. Carton’s Bat Girl – Yeah I don’t get it either…

Jerry Recco’s selection for his highly anticipated Moment of the Day was made easy for him when our Production Guru Zach, failed miserable trying to play the role of the world’s best golfer. Then I alerted the guys to today’s smokin’ hot ‘Attention Grabber’ featured in my wildly popular blog…

See you all bright and early when we'll do it all over again, from 6am-10am on Sports Radio 66 WFAN, in New York...
I’ve heard it said, “life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get.” And after what we all saw yesterday, the same can be said of the NCAA Tournament. After only one day many of the biggest sports fans find they’re brackets already busted up worse than a high school girl’s face by acne...
After doing yesterday’s St. Patrick’s Day Show from Connolly’s Pub, the guys kept the ball rolling and found themselves on hand while Ivan Menezes, President and CEO of Diageo North America, rang the Closing Bell for the New York Stock Exchange yesterday afternoon. It’s good being Boomer Esiason and Craig Carton. It was also good being Joba Chamberlain yesterday, as he had his best performance of the spring and his role for the 2010 season is still uncertain. Another young pitcher with an uncertain future is Mets prospect Jenrry Mejia, who in some circles has been compared to Mariano Rivera. Boomer and Craig discussed how the 20 year old right hander should be handled and just pray the ‘Not So Amazin’ Mets don’t screw it up…Plus, Rocco shows fear and Jerry displays his skills, sex.com is for sale, the most unlucky manager in baseball, Jenrry Mejia’s entrance idea, an real life ‘Undercover Boss’, Greg Anthony breaks down the Madness, Olympic hero Julia Mancuso talks about posing for Playboy, Jerry delivers his Moment of the Day and a Blog Spot to update the B&C Tourney of Babes…
Get ready for what may be the shortest blog ever as I race to finish before the Bushmills makes me unable to type and so I can make it to the pub by noon. Now, Boomer and Carton have been hanging out at the Pub since 6 this morning. Connolly’s Pub on 47th street to be exact; where the boys did the show live for St. Patrick’s Day. As you might have guessed, the combination of Irish Pub + Boomer and Carton + St. Patrick's Day = One Crazy Show...
There was a coin flip to decide which New York football team, the Giants or the Jets, will get the honor of playing the first regular season game in the new home stadium that they will share. The Giants won the flip and will open up the new digs on the first Sunday of the regular season. The Jets will also play at home the first week, as they will open up Monday night, but Jets owner Woody Johnson is not happy that no one representing his organization was present at the time of the supposed flip. Craig isn’t thrilled either, I think it’s safe to say that neither Woody nor Craigie believe an actually coin flip actually took place and that the NFL wanted the Giants to open up the stadium. Boomer isn’t buying any foul play theories and he tried his best to get through to Craig. The guys did take a hiatus from the coin toss talk to update the audience on the Boomer & Carton Tourney of Babes, which has been a smashing success thus far…Plus, Jim Lampley’s Bang-Bang theory, a small ‘situation’, a lesson in coin flip manipulation, Boomer gets answers from the NFL for Craig, Gary Myers embarrasses himself, Craig’s dry humping days, we hear from Seth Davis, Boomer reminds Craig that he agreed to compete in a triathlon, an old friend from Craig’s past calls looking for help with her NCAA Bracket and a Moment in which we probably learned a little more than we needed to know…
The NCAA field is set and Boomer and Craig aren’t thrilled with their alma maters, Maryland for the Booms and Syracuse for Craigie, draw. They didn’t let that bother them for very long though, as they were too busy ogling the field of 64 that yours truly compiled for the 2nd Annual Boomer and Carton Tourney of Babes, we encourage you to vote early and vote often. Somehow they were able to refocus and deal with the business at hand, which was the news that Jets Head Coach Rex Ryan has undergone lap-band surgery to help him combat his weight problems. Boomer and Craig had different takes on the subject and Craigie complains about the stress he has in his life. More news from the Jets as they signed running back Ladainian Tomlinson over the weekend, to replace Thomas Jones…Plus, a caller refers to Craig as a selfish jerk and Jerry reports all of the sports news, a B&C Tourney of Babes breakdown, John Maine gets bombed and then explains why, Rex’s last supper and his quarterbacks new look, a common fantasy, Craig’s inner-doggie is unleashed, a Monday morning Moment with the Reckin’ Ball and a round of applause followed by yet another highly informative Blog Spot…
